If fioeks of hens are kept on our farms that possess the colors of Joseph's coat, combined with numerous sizes and shapes, and producing a product. that 1 would take an expert to tell the shades and texture of the shell, then poultry profits will be slim. With small profits, our Interest will lessen, and it takes interest to make us go after poultry in the right way, in the opinion of D. H. Hall, extension poultry husbandman, Clemson college, South Carolina. "Have you ever seen a farmer that was Interested to a mongrel flock of chickens? If you have, you have seen more than I have," says Mr. Ball. "As a rule, when the farm flock are mongrels, the farmer himself will always tell you that they belong to the wife, but when pure bred poultry comes on the farm, then this same farmer doesn't mind showing the visitors the poultry, and most of the time, will claim every one of them. "Pure bred poultry will also attract attention to the farm. I do not care bow humble the home may be or how poor the farmer is himself, people will always stop to look at a flock of pure bred chickens. When other people are interested in the things you have, there is usually a sale for them at a good profit. "What about the cost? Pure bred chickens may cost a little more, but they will pay back In eggs and meat more than mongrels ever can. The pure bred poultry producers In each county should get behind this movement and plan pure bred poultry on each farm." Right Number of Males Required in Hen Flock This scene on the Boston waterfront Indicates the conditions that prevaLied all up and down the Atlantic coast due to abnormally high tides and violent gales. PAGE CHICAGO COACH Justice Holmes Ninety Years Old Thursday, March 19, 1931 There is no absolute rule in regard to the number of males needed in a flockw but there are some general recommendations that will prove helpful in deciding this question. For the Asiatic breeds one rooster is needed for six or eight hens. These birds are slower moving than the American breeds. The American breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Wyandottes, need one rooster for every ten or twelve hens. With Leghorns dnd other Mediterranean breeds one rooster to fifteen or twenty hens l.s usually satisfactory. The activity -of the males will make some difference In regard to the number needed. In comparatively large tlocks fewer males will be needed than where the rooster and hens are closely conflned. It is better to have a few more males at the beginning of the season than Is needed so that there will ·be sufiicient even though some ot them may become disabled or die. If new males are added later in the season they will usually start fighting and do more harm than good. A few extra roosters early in the season Is a more practical method of meeting the situation. WHEN a child is fretful and irritable, seems distressed and uncomfortable, can't play, can't sleep, it is a pretty sure sign that something is wrong. Right here is where Castoria fits into a child's schemethe very purpose for which it was formulated years ago!

Model of "Radio City" for New York Egg Hatchability Bird.'! which !}ave been producing Large numbers of eggs throughout the winter are usually found to produce eggs late in the season with a lower fertility and hatchability.
